A different kind of box day for us-we filled boxes of books today. When the group came up from Port-au-Prince last week they brought a truck load of donated Creole literature. Bibles, new testaments, song books, other books both for adults and children. Today we divided them up into boxes for the churches.
Tomorrow the pastors of the Northern District are to meet here at Fauche. There was enough of the literature for each church to receive 1-10 of the different books or pamphlets. We also have some left over for the clinic patients, the House of Hope and the Dearest house.
It is wonderful to have good Christian literature to assist the ministry in the North. Many thanks to everyone who had a part of writing, translating, printing, transporting, packaging and paying for these materials. We know that the Lord is going to use this material to educate and encourage the Christians here. May the kingdom grow because of your help.
We continue to have rain-over 19 inches for the month. But the rain does bring on some nice flowers. Not so good for the mango trees on the compound that are in full bloom.
We have heard that at least one local house was damaged by a mud slide.
The rain does make it easier for Cory to stay inside and complete office work. He printed newsletters and envelopes to go in the mail tomorrow when he drives to Cap to pick up the third order of banana plants at the airport. He has also worked on our taxes this week.

That is so neat to have so many books to bless others with.
Our church helped to staple together the New Testament in the Koban language for a missionary in PAupa New Guinea and I know we felt incredibly blessed to be able to do something to help way back here in the US!
I know those who received them felt incredibly blessed as many walked many, many, miles for their own copy!
Blessings in all you do!
Yes it was very neat to see the pastors with the books yesterday. Most of the common people speak Creole and we're blessed that most of the material is in Creole. See todays post for pictures.
